’ ” MORVICH PRONOUNCED FIT FOR SATURDAY’S KENTUCKY DERBY My Play’s Chance in Derby ECHOES FROM OVERSEAS - _ - THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1922, Considered Good by Man Who Raced Colt Last Year seoatacgpaictns Kimball’ Patterson Says Man 0’ War's Brother Will Go Well on Louisville Track. By Vincent Treanor. IMBALL PATTERSON, who developed My Play, among others, for the Lexington Stable last year, and then severed Connections with the stable, thinks that this full brother of Man O' War has better than an even chance to win the Kentucky Derby. His basis for Ahis belief is that it was on the Louisvillé track last spring that My Play first showed him speed that con- vinced him he had a great colt, To please Jim McClelland and a party, Patterson set My Play down for a fast. quarter. He turned it in + Just 22 seconds. Previous to this, Pat- tereon said, he had never asked any- thing fast from the colt and that single move convinoed him that My Play was above the ordinary. Some horsen will run better on cer- tain tracks than on others, and Pat- terson believes that My Play has a special fondness for the Derby course. His recent race work for the stake there, a mile and a quarter in 2.09, in considered excellent by Patterson, and he believes that route distance ie the colt's long suit. Despite Patterson's hopes for My Play the consensus of opinion of local horsemen is that the Derby is a cake walk for Morvich, even though no horse of his breeding ever turned out to be a route traveller. They think he has little to beat because the field has petered away to small propor- tions, with few horses which have shown any pretensions to Derby cal- ibre. Morvich’s early speed will make the others dizzy, it is argued, if they attempt to follow him, and if they don’t the Block champion will be so ‘far in front at the mile that he can “walk” the rest of the way. Horsemen here who have watched Morvich's preparation are of the opin- ion that the Derby will not be half 60 interesting as the $50,000 Preak- ness to be run the same day at Pim- Heo. There will be more éontention in the latter event, they think, be- cause as the field stands the pros- Pective starters are more evenly matched. It is pointed out that a real good three-year-old in either event would have @ great chance of picki! up the fancy purses in view of the fact that so many of the most highly thought of eligibles have gone wrong almost on the eve of both great struggles. Many a well played good thing Mike Gibbons, the veteran middle- weight of St. Paul, who had the mis- fortune to lose the decision to Mike O'Dowd in a twelve-round bout at the Queensboro A. C. of Long Island City lgst Satutday night, is going to Cuba, where he will engage in several bouts next month, Mike is of the opinion that the warm climate there will put him ip excellent condition for future contests. He will leave with his man- ager, Mike Collins, in about two weeks. @hampion Johnny Dundee, who proved to the satisfaction of his admirers that he can make the featherweight limit, 126 at 2 P.

In the first race Orro was regarded as the hot goods. Asa result what looked like the best het of the season so far, Olynthue, was allowed to get away. Orro was elther green or he fooled Trainer Jim Evans by his*work. It was rumored around that he had outworked Smoke Screen, If this is true, Smoke Screen must have had an off day. Clarence Kummer belabored Orro all the way, but couldn't get any speed out of him at any stage. Olynthus ‘‘rolled’’ over him and his other opposition as the dope indicated he would. Sophie Goldman was another good ‘thing in the second race. The wise Players fell over themselves getting aboard. Something happened to Sophie right after the start, and she Was soon back in the ruck. She never got into a contending position at all and the race was an easy victory for Billy Gibson. The worst race of the day from a public standpoint was the last. Billy Watts was considered a real good favorite, and everybody seemed to take it for granted. From ¢ to 5, Billy Watts was played down to 2 to 5, and even then there was scrambling to get aboard the “sure thing.” As the race was run Billy Watts never could get near Irish Sea, the Hunt Club horse. Even So It Goes had no trouble outrunmning the favorite. Irieh Sea went to the front early and held his advantage without much pressure, Jack Hesterberg of Flatbush earned the distinction of showing up at the track Tuesday with the first straw hat of the season. So as not to be distanced in the fashionable stakes, Larry Dempsey of the Bronx and pointe south was on: hand yester- day with a brand new example of summer headgear. Larry denies that it Ia a “repeater.” George Odom was more or less awed when he saw the whole Rowe family lending to the paddock wants of Calamity Jane before the Spring handicap. In addition, Harry Payne Whitney was on hand to see the filly race, “Well,” aald George, “Modo bas done better for me than any time in his life and have to take a chance and bet on him.” Modo was running fast at the end of the race, but he didn’t begin to have enough early speed to get within striking dis- tance of the Whitney filly.

Pete Herman's hard luck in having to default his contract to meet Joe Bur- man at Dyckman Oval, on May 22, when the Academy A. C. presents its first series of boxing exhibitions of a season covering a period of five month: has put Irish Johony Curtin one step nearer to realizing the ambition of his life, which is to win the bantamweight championship title.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., had his final trial for the Kentucky Derby of $50,000 at Churchill Downs shortly aftér 6 o'clock yesterday morning and he stepped the full route, one mil and & quarter, in 2.081-5. He finished out, as he bas In ali his works, full of run and fighting for his head.
